How much can snort Snort?

[Kevin L Pawloski <kpawloski () juno com>]

I've seen several discussions about gig interfaces lately but I haven't
seen any recent posts about benchmarks for gig snorting performance of
late.

How much traffic can a Snort box pull w/o dropping a high amount of
packets? I'm more concerned about the box's performance and not any
issues with the actual gig interface itself.

Perhaps some of you Snortters could give me an estimate on performance
for this sample box:

Dual 700mhrz RedHat 7.2 System with 2GB of RAM - Gig Interface and SCSI
HD.

If anyone wants to take this discussion off-line I'd be more than happy
to talk.

Thanks in advance.

Kevin
